Yeah, I like that. Sounds almost Spectres-era to me. Buck, did Richie do both solos?

As an aside, when I was typing in this tune in the search field on YouTube earlier, it pre-filled Train True and I got all excited, before I realized it only did this because I had searched for Train True a couple days ago...
OK, so I’ve now heard 3 of 14 new tunes (15 once I know I can find the acoustic That Was Me). I’m good. Don’t want to hear any others until I get my hands on the disc.

Rob's right, I do the licks and the middle solo, and Richie takes it home at the end. There's a lot of interplay of me and Richie on this record. Spread the joy.

To quote Pam Poovey from Archer: "Holy shitsnacks!"
Okay, this song would be right at home on Spectres. It SO feels like classic BOC, especially Nosferatu and I Love the Night with the vampire theme.
I like some of the more creative/dramatic chord progressions with the storytelling and theatrical elements like on Fire of Unknown Origin (I get a distinct Vengeance The Pact vibe at some points)
All three tracks released thusfar are dynamite.
Edit: haha, looks like I'm not even close to the only one who thought it would be at home on Spectres lol

I've listened to it three times. It seriously feels like vintage Joe Bouchard-style storytelling. Like Wings Wetted Down, Nosferatu, Celestial The Queen, etc. There is a visual imagery to it and its the kind of shit that got me to fall in love with BOC in the first place.

Video should be up any time now. It's up to the Italians I guess.
Tainted Blood is a lyric by Eric and music by Richie. Richie sang the demo and Eric tapped him to record the finished vocal. Eric reciprocated singing Richie's "Alchemist."

The video isn't ready yet, wonder if Frontiers is letting the audio out. Looked like someone leaked it out maybe. I found it somewhere but just saw ‘a posted just now so I’ll post that.

None of us were plugged in for the video, tho we did have a short cord in our guitars. I actually played one of the keyboard parts on that song. Not sure how much of it Tom Lord-Alge used in the mix. All the really hard parts on the record were played by Andy Ascolese. Full credits are in the CD booklet.
